Doping control<br />

Under the direction of the IPC, LOCOG is responsible for implementing the doping<br />

control programme during the <strong>London</strong> <strong>2012</strong> Paralympic Games. The programme<br />

will be carried out in accordance with the IPC Anti-Doping Code, and will comply<br />

with the World Anti-Doping Code and its relevant International Standards.<br />

Every athlete may be selected to undergo one or more doping control tests<br />

during the period of the Paralympic Games, defined here as running from<br />

22 August (the day the Paralympic Village opens) to 9 September (the day of<br />

the Closing Ceremony).<br />

Testing selection during the period of the Paralympic Games will be the<br />

responsibility of the IPC, and will include both in- and out-of-competition testing<br />

through the collection of urine and/or blood samples. Testing will be conducted<br />

at doping control stations set up at all competition venues and Villages. All<br />

sample analysis will be performed in a WADA-accredited laboratory established<br />

for the Games.<br />
